1. The Austrian Empire and Hungary

As a result, Austria banded with other regions, forming the Austrian Empire. Near the end of the Wars, the Austrian Empire demonstrated that it was one of the most powerful forces, which also included the Kingdom of Hungary. The Empire was fraught with internal problems. The Magyars, the original rulers of Hungary, demanded more control, while the regions within the Empire demanded independence. However, the majority of the Habsburg government in Austria showed that the emperor had commanding power, which was not to be shared

    Napoleon was a great soldier that graduated from military school at the age of sixteen and quickly worked his way through the ranks. Napoleon was a brilliant leader in battle and consistently defeated armies larger than his own; including when he forced the Austrians to make peace after defeating four of their generals. In 1799 Napoleon and his colleagues overtook the French government and established power. He revised the constitution in 1802 to make himself consul for life, and then again in 1804 to make himself Emperor of France. Soon after Napoleon came to power he restructured the administration, simplified the court system, and began monitoring the schooling system; French law was also put in the Napoleon Code which guaranteed the rights and liberties that were gained through the revolution. Napoleons violent behavior caused war with Britain to break out, who allied with Russia and Austria. Prussia later allied themselves with Russia; creating a huge alliances against France and Napoleon. Napoleon successfully extended his reign over large parts of Europe and put each state under the Napoleon Code, which gave citizens new rights and privileges. In 1812 all of Europe turned against Napoleon, which lead to his exile in 1814. He regained power in 1815 just to loose it later that year. He died in exile in Saint Helena in 1821.

Imperialism gave imperialists a new market, labor force, supplies for raw materials, and inexpensive and efficient ways to expand upon nations.
